The second Quilt and Fiber Art Show opens on July 14 with an Artist Reception from 3 to 5 pm at the Hoffman Center for the Arts. Artists who live full or part time in the three Villages (Manzanita, Nehalem, and Wheeler), have contributed their creations. Come see the wide variety of pieces during extended Gallery Hours (Fridays and Saturdays 3-5 pm, Sundays 1-4 pm) on July 14, 15, 16, 21, 22, 23.

There are special demonstrations scheduled as well:

Saturday, July 15 3:00 pm: Quilted Postcards, Bonnie Sabel-Welte

Sunday, July 16 3:00 pm: Expressive Needle Felting, Jeanine Rumble

Friday, July 21 3:00 pm: Creating Feathers, Aina Tonjes

Saturday, July 22 3:00 pm: Hand Applique’, Janet Surbrook

At last year’s well-attended show in August, visitors asked for more of the works to be offered for sale. Participants this year were given more time to create and were encouraged to offer at least one of the two items per person for sale. As a result, at this year’s show two thirds of the 45 works will be offered for sale with 30 percent of the price going to the Hoffman Center.

Quilters and fiber artisans from Manzanita, Nehalem and Wheeler and surrounding areas are invited to submit their works for a July 2017 show at the Hoffman Center for the Arts in Manzanita. The show will be collaboration between the Center and Creative Fabrics in Wheeler.

Interested artists are asked to provide a photo and size dimensions for their entry. Works can be sold during the show.

The deadline for entry registration is May 30, 2017 with a limit of two pieces per person.

Registration forms are available at Creative Fabrics in Wheeler, or can be downloaded as a Word document:Quilt Entry Form 2017.

All wall hangings and quilts will need to be ready for hanging. Small quilts and wall hangings (no larger than 24 inches) can be hung with Velcro (strips available at Creative Fabrics). Larger quilts should have a 4” sleeve sewn to the back. Larger wall pieces should have a way to hang on a wall. Tables will be available for displaying dimensional art.

The works will be on display at the Center July 14-23, 2017.

The Hoffman Center for the Arts in Manzanita will launch a 10-day quilt and fiber arts show, with a special artists’ reception Friday, Aug. 5, from 2 to 5 p.m.

“The quilt makers and the fiber artists come from our three village communities,” said organizer Doris Bash, owner of Creative Fabrics in Wheeler. “They put their love of color, pattern, design and personality into the mix and the creativity is born.”

“Quilting has become an international pastime and phenomenon, and has exploded into the art world,” she added. “People won’t want to miss this diverse exhibit.”

The works will remain up for viewing at the Center on Saturday, Aug. 6 from 2 to 4 p.m.; Sunday, Aug. 7 from 1 to 4 p.m.; Friday, Aug. 12 from 2 to 5 p.m.; Saturday, Aug. 13 from 2 to 4 p.m.; and Sunday, Aug. 14, from 1 to 4 p.m.
